Integrated and Participatory Urban Waste Management Project

In 2009, Radio Active CR 90.4 MHz, embarked on a five year project titled "Integrated and Participatory Urban Waste Management Initiatives". The five year programme designed to sensitize and develop a holistic community approach to waste management and seeks to promote ownership on the process and inclusion of the informal waste workers into the SWM system.

The genesis of the project stemmed out of clean up drives conducted at Frazer Town & JC Road, Bangalore in 2009. The project was officially launched on August 15th 2009. From then on the project has evolved to include Capacity Building Workshops on Waste Management to stakeholders- RWAs, gated communities, educational institutions, business, and other institutions, government etc, in addition to engagement with the government and other agencies through policy advocacy and inclusion of waste-pickers and scrap dealers in the city’s solid waste management system.
